The pot-bellied elephant god has arrived and he has brought tons and tons of ‘modak’ with him. Ladies and gentlemen, it is an exotic sweet, a piece of art, as not everyone can mold a modak! If you are the type who likes vintage wine, then you should really care about modak because the first reference to this delicacy dates as far back as the Mahabharat. A modak is made of rice flour, coconut, jaggery and is eaten with huge helpings of ghee. This makes it low/medium on glycemic index and high on nutrients. And if you are worried about coconut and ghee, know that even the USFDA is now on the same page as the Mahabharata and feels that modak must be celebrated. But then every Federal guideline for heart and public health has the burden of sounding scientific. As for all those who want to go sugar-free or add a low-calorie sweetener in the modak, know that the same USFDA is also saying since April 2015 that sweeteners should not be promoted for weight-loss or even blood sugar control.
